Abstract

The study is to drive right users' attitude of internet and smart phones by providing the rewards. It consisted of 4 different types of no compensation, praise card, achievement sticker and cash and its effect on user's behavior was statistically tested. 24 children in grades four through six participated in the study. The task in this study was game of mathematical calculation. The subjective satisfaction about the reward and heart response during the game task were measured. As the results, inactivation of sympathetic and parasympathetic was observed in the case of no compensation while activation in the case of praise card. Therefore, the praise card was observed in greater commitment and satisfaction than the other rewards. The difference between non-compensation and compensation was significant in the subjective satisfaction, but not difference between compensations.

본 논문은 게임에 대한 사용자의 직접적인 행동제어 방법보다는 사용 습관의 변화에 대한 적절한 보상을 제시함으로 올바른 사용을 유도하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 보상의 몰입 효과를 분석하여 보상 효과를 검증하였다. 24명의 초등학생들이 실험에 참여하였다. 피험자에게 제공한 태스크(task)는 산술 게임이며, 결과에 따라 4종류의 보상(보상없음, 칭찬카드, 업적 스티커, 현금)의 효과를 분석하였다. 산술 게임하는 동안에는 심장 반응과 보상에 대한 주관 만족도를 측정하였다. 결과적으로, 보상이 없는 경우는 교감, 부교감의 비활성화를 나타내었으며, 칭찬카드를 제시했을 경우, 교감 및 부교감 활성화를 확인하였다. 즉, 칭찬카드가 다른 보상보다도 가장 몰입 및 만족도가 크다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만, 보상에 따른 주관적인 만족도에서는 보상없음과 보상을 제시한 경우의 통계적 유의한 차이는 있었지만, 보상간의 차이는 확인할 수 없었다.
